If you are travelling to a foreign country in particular tropical region you will need to be vaccinated against tropical diseases.

The practice offers a full range of vaccinations and advice for patients that are travelling. Specific travel advice will be given depending upon your destination, and the appropriate prescription given where needed.

Our pre-travel consultations are with experienced General Practitioners who will assess any pre-existing chronic medical conditions and your vaccine requirements. We have the full range of travel vaccines.

Travellers should also consider the nature of their trip, for example are you staying at or visiting only hygienic, air conditioned premises for a few days which would pose less of a risk of infection to someone travelling extensively to rural areas where hygiene and sanitation may not be to a good standard. Areas in which health risks are considerably higher and medical facilities are limited.

Patients shoulder contact the practice at least 6-8 weeks before travelling to ensure vaccinations take full effect when it comes to travelling. This period of time allows anti bodies to be formed protecting you whilst away and for any reactions to the vaccination to subside.

We also provide malaria prevention. The appropriate advice and medication will be given for malaria where necessary.

We also provide treatment to patients with travel related illnesses.

When travelling some travel agents or embassies may tell you that no vaccinations certificates are required when entering the country. Please however be wary of this as you may not be obligated to do so but it is still recommended.
